Did a Eucharistic Miracle Occur in Indiana? Archdiocese Investigates What Happened to a Host Following Mass



In St. Anthony, Catholic Church, in Morris, Indianapolis, a possible Eucharistic miracle is being investigated by the local archdiocese. It was reported that “two consecrated hosts that had been dropped separately during daily Mass Feb. 21 were set in water and placed in the tabernacle to dissolve, in accordance with precautions the Church takes.” The following day, a sacristan saw what appeared to be spots of blood on the hosts.

The 1st host was dropped during daily mass and it was placed into water and left it in the tabernacle to dissolve. A few hours later the priest found another host that had been dropped somewhere and placed that in the tabernacle as well.
When the sacristan was preparing for Saturday evening Mass she opened the tabernacle to see if the hosts had dissolved yet and found spots of blood! She immediately showed the priest, they removed it from the water and kept it in the tabernacle. When I saw it today it looked like a very very thin piece of skin with blood on it.”
According to local news outlet The 812, several parishioners believe the red substance is the blood of Jesus Christ, and therefore a Eucharistic miracle, but the occurrence has not yet been confirmed as a miracle. The Archdiocese of Indianapolis may refer the possible Eucharistic miracle to the Rome-based Dicastery for the Doctrine of Faith for an investigation.
The Archdiocese of Indianapolis told CatholicVote in an email statement “a careful investigation, with assistance from a professional laboratory, is in progress.”
WLWT 5 News, an NBC affiliate, reports that St. Anthony’s Church has said it does not want to comment until the investigation is concluded.
